Nutmeg “Nuggets”
Nutritional IV therapy improves your health by giving you the nutrients your body must have to produce energy, build proteins, heal, keep your nerves and muscles working, and maintain every system in your body. You can eat healthy foods and still develop a nutritional deficiency if you’re under any physical or emotional stress. Your body uses more nutrients when you’re stressed, whether the stress is due to chronic pain, acute or chronic illness, a viral or bacterial infection, injury, overtraining, or anxiety.
An IV infusion can: increase energy, boost metabolism, strengthen the immune system, relieve pain, improve healing, hydrate your body, enhance sport performance and fight free radicals. Depending on the nutritional IV infusion you use, it may also balance electrolytes, nourish your skin, and help detoxify your body.
IV Vitamin Infusion for Immune Health
against invaders but it is overwhelmed at times due to exposure to new strains of the flu and other viruses, poor sleep, stress, improp- er nutrition and absorption of nutrients. Oral supplements must travel through your stomach and be absorbed by your small intes- tine before they reach your bloodstream. Many problems along the way can limit the amount of nutrients that actually get into your bloodstream and are delivered to cells throughout your body. For example, if you have inflammatory bowel disease, low stomach acid, or don’t produce enough digestive enzymes, your body can’t properly absorb nutrients.

Another roadblock is that your small intestine can only absorb a limited amount of some nutrients. You could take a mega-dose of nutrients orally, but only a small percentage would make it into your bloodstream.
When your nutrients are administered intravenously (IV),
they bypass digestion and absorption issues, and you get 100% of the dose delivered. Not only that, but your therapeutic dose is quickly distributed to cells that need the nutrition to boost your energy and improve your well-being.
iven all the recent concern about Corona virus and its rapid spread, it is most important to try and stay as healthy as possible. Our immune system is designed to protect us
Your IV therapy can be customized, but a variety of stan- dard IV infusions are available that may be perfect for your health. The Immune support drip and the Meyers’ cocktail consists of fluids, B vitamins and amino acids, including high dose vitamin C, and minerals. Vitamin C which is also a stand-alone high dose drip, not only aids in detoxification as a powerful antioxidant, but can boost our immune system against pathogens and viral illness. We often do a glutathi- one add on to help boost the effect of the drip. Glutathione removes toxins in the body and is the most important antioxi- dant produced by the body. People usually feel the positive effects immediately after their IV drip, and this infusion can decrease both the severity of your symptoms and the length of time when you’re feeling under the weather.
